Greece has announced plans to develop the world’s first theme park centered around the life and legacy of Alexander the Great, aiming to boost tourism and attract investment in Northern Greece, according to New Greek Television.
Blooloop has reported that the upcoming “Alexander Theme Park” will span 8 acres near Amphipolis, strategically located between Kavala and Serres. The park is set to combine indoor and outdoor attractions designed for families, offering an engaging mix of entertainment and educational experiences. Construction is expected to begin in 2026, with a projected budget of under €10 million.
Grigoris Avanidis, project manager at DreamWorkers, revealed the initiative during a tourism and real estate forum hosted by The American College of Thessaloniki. He explained that the concept draws inspiration from the area’s historical connection to Alexander the Great, especially in light of the global interest sparked by the excavation of the Kasta Tomb.
“This is the first theme park in the world dedicated to Alexander,” said Avanidis. He emphasized that the project avoids “heavy historical themes” in order to appeal to a broader audience, presenting it as both a cultural highlight and a new avenue for regional tourism development.
Speakers at the conference underscored the growing need for more themed attractions across Greece. Avanidis also noted that interest from both domestic and international investors is on the rise, with many exploring opportunities throughout the country.
